[Vision2020] Re: Name of this list & re: Water

[Matt Decker]

J,

Actually, many Moscow citizens do use a "draught resistant" grass for steep 
slopes or other purposes. What I have noticed is that many more families 
like the bluegrasses or ryes. Most of them have children, and realize that 
the "draught resistant" doesn't serve as a very good "lawn grass". However, 
if you look around many families are using xeriscaping (use of drought 
resistant plants, and automatic sprinklers/and or drip) in order to help 
conserve water.

Great topic

Matt
